to what end

to what end

to what end do we live my friend

if we explore not this containment ?

we refrain from approach

of the unknown

though we have sown

the seeds for the coming of it’s fruits

and the mighty shadow warriors

of Fear

and their Legions of Doubt

circles your little wagons

and we cower

each day

each minute

every waking hour

as if our Dreams may be realized

where there is no light

i too crave sleep

for my own reason attacks it’s self

day after day

and the sense it seeks

is perhaps a self . .

a “Self” contained one

at least that is what they say

this journey seems vaguely familiar

très familier

for i have seen these Sign Posts before

and that elusive door

to the light of understanding

i believe

i am he

unfortunately

selfishly

i am He

just for me

Saints and Preachers and Teachers

and all sorts of Creatures

are being featured

in their own Movies

yet they wish to

greet you

seat you

saying

they can complete you

if you watch their show

theirs presentations

of their interpretations

of the «IS» ness of life

well am not i . . «I» an «IS»

too ?

Was not i too encoded ?

downloaded with the same compellations

as you ?

happiness

fulfillment

clarity

surety

and love

ok .. ok. .

i will stay for a while

and check out your style

if that certifies

or dignifies

this false sense

of worthiness you

vie for

are willing to die for

death may not be all that bad

though sad for all the ones

who have not travelled

in their «Now» ness

those who allow this mess

of Empiracy to rule the nest

and in all this circumspective thought

when we get home

and empty our baggage

we will see

explicitly

that we bougth so much junk

that we did not need

so to the closet we go

again

put the junk in the trunk

my friend

and label it Karma

that is our Dharma

and wash the hands and fingers

of resonant memory

and get back in line

and let’s do it all over

again

and again

and again

until that time of illusion

when

we realize

that we are

have always been

right where we are

HERE !

to what end ?
